An Ant’s Glory

I saw an ant
Climb up the wall,
With a small morsel of bread.

Petite in size and six legged,
He seemed busy in his task.

He struggled to lift it,
Hold it between his mouth,
And even tried to push it.

But the morsel of bread
Showed no effort to budge.

He had no plans to take leave
Of his unfinished job.

He labored hard to carry
The minute piece of bread
Half way up the wall.

He stopped to breath
A second. Afraid his meal would fall off.

He pushed and nudged
Feeling no remorse
Towards his goal, his home.

Success by his side,
I saw him look back, down the wall
The struggle was worth it, he smiled…
